What is a Multi Burner Stove?

A multi burner stove is designed to burn more than one type of fuel. They provide a controlled atmosphere for various types of smokeless fuels or wood.

The stoves come with a firebox where the fuel is positioned and then lit. They also have a door for access, a window, and air vents to control the air supply and the speed of the fire.

Adjustable Flame

A lot of multi fuel stoves come with an adjustable flame height control. This is a great feature when heating and cooking with the same stove since it allows you to adjust the temperature of your fire to suit your requirements and cook/heat food more efficiently. The majority of multi-fuel stoves come with an air vent built into the back of the stove. This can help keep the fire going after you've finished cooking. It can also be used to expel all noxious fumes.

Multi-fuel stoves are a fantastic alternative to wood burning stoves, which can only burn cheap wood burning stoves. They allow you to burn any solid fuel, such as coal, peat and so on. in addition to seasoned logs. Coal is slowly being discarded as it is not suitable for smoke control zones and produces more toxic fumes than wood that has been seasoned.

Open the door to the multi-fuel stove and place some paper or fire lighters between the dry kindling on the grates. Then, light the paper or firelighters and wait until the fire catches flames. When the kindling is the light, you can add your kiln dried logs to the top of the kindling, which will allow you to build a fire bed that will help your logs burn more efficiently.

A multi-fuel stove of high quality will have an ash pan as well as a grate carrier frame to allow you to remove the ash without opening the door. Certain newer stoves have a built in grate carrier that lets more air flow through when the logs are burning.

If you plan to backpack or camp with your multi-burner stove, it is recommended that you purchase one with an advanced pot support system, such as the MSR PocketRocket 2 or Jetboil MiniMo. They're better able to withstand windy situations. Canister stoves that are not integrated tend to leave more of the flame visible, however, the MSR PocketRocket and the newer MSR WindMaster feature a unique clamp-on pot support that hugs the sides of your stove, helping to boost performance in abrasive conditions.

Adjustable Airflow

A multi fuel stove is able to regulate airflow, which allows the fire to burn at its maximum rate. This enables the stove to produce heat at a high efficiency, avoiding waste gases and smoke entering the room. The stove can also be used in conjunction with other fuels, like coal. This is particularly important since certain types of solid fuel are not able to be used in smoke control areas, and others are dirtier and more expensive than wood.

Multi fuel stoves feature raised riddling grates that allow combustion air to flow under the fuel. This makes it easier to remove the ash from the ashpan. Multi fuel stoves come with a variety of innovative technologies, such as Cleanburn and Airwash. These technologies ensure that the stove burns at a high level for each fuel type.

The air primary and secondary controls can be used to adjust the modern multi-fuel stoves. You can choose to operate them manually or automatically. The variable airflow feature lets you to control how much primary and second air is supplied to your stove. This will ensure that it is burning efficiently for the type of fuel you use.

It is recommended to select wood that has been dried in a kiln and are low in moisture. Keep the stove in good working order and add small quantities of fuel to the fire on a regular basis. Close the air supply, but not completely. This could create an eddy, which can draw unburned volatiles back into the fire. Try to keep the stove door slightly open but not completely so that you can add wood only when it's visible through the glass. Place the log horizontally on top of the glowing embers so that it does not get in the way of the stove's side or the bottom of the grates.

Adjustable Temperature

If you want to be able to choose between burning a variety of different fuels, then a multi burner stove might be the ideal choice for you. In addition to wood logs multifuel stoves also burn turf or peat briquettes, anthracite coal and many different types of smokeless fuels. You can now enjoy an array of heating sources, and save time and money by not having to purchase and transport various types of fuel.

Many wood-burning stoves have primary secondary, third and even tertiary vents that help to regulate the flame pattern. This improves efficiency. The use of these air vents allows you to adjust the stove for the type of fuel you prefer and have a fire that is optimal with a high heat output. This is especially useful since the prices of various fuels can be very different.

You can also use a multifuel stove to heat a domestic water system. This will allow you to provide hot water to your home. Certain models can also be used as boilers to heat the hot water tank for household use. This means you can keep your home warm and cozy without the need to turn on your central heating system.

One of the major differences between a multi fuel stove and a traditional log burner is that the former can only be used to burn wood burning stove logs. If you plan to make use of a wood stove to burn other solid fuels, then it is likely that you will require a special grate since they don't burn the same as logs.

Multifuel stoves come with a metal grates at the bottom of the fire chamber. This allows air to flow from below and help keep the flame burning. This is because coal, for example requires a lot of combustion air in order to stay burning. As a result, multifuel stoves tend to be fitted with a riddler which can be removed and emptied when the fire is burning to avoid a accumulation of ash that blocks the flow of air.

Cleanburn

A multi fuel stove is great because you can burn smokeless coal, wood and even certain mineral fuels. But, it is essential to use high-quality wood or wood pellet that is properly seasoned and dried to less than 20% moisture content.

When wood is heated the gases and particles that have accumulated in the wood over time are released. Older wood stoves and fireplaces release a significant amount of these up the chimney together with the heat, which results in low efficiency and poor air quality inside. Modern stoves that incorporate Cleanburn technology, on the other hand can effectively burn these gases and particles. This lowers emissions and results in an efficient combustion as well as significantly lower temperatures of flue gas.

Jotul has big goals regarding climate change, which is why we have designed all of our wood burning appliances with cleanburn technology. We have created our own Cleanburn add-on to help your stove burn cleaner and reduces soot buildup on your stove glass and firebox walls, especially when you are using fuels that have a high moisture content.

A stove that is equipped with cleanburn technology is a must for anyone who relies on wood as their primary source of heating. It can be an excellent option to improve the air quality in your home. If you reside in a town or city that is designated as a smokeless zone, then switching to a stove that is cleaner burning will allow you to stay within the strict limits of these regulations and can be a huge benefit for those suffering from asthma and other respiratory issues.

Our multi fuel stoves with cleanburn technology come with secondary air as well as a pre-heated tertiary air system, and a plain steel or vermiculite stove base to ensure the best combustion. The tertiary air system that is pre-heated which is normally found only on the top stoves, prevents soot and ash from sticking to the stove glass and permits more gases produced during combustion to be burned.

Cleanburn from Jotul is also a great additive to use in conjunction with the preheated secondary air system to enhance the efficiency of your stove. Cleanburn will result in more efficient and cleaner flame, which is carbon neutral and will help reduce the soot deposits that build up on the inner wall of the firebox.
